2. earlier this month i legged it round lathkil, my first fell race since the waltz. this time there was no river dousing but a fine slurry yard was there to be negociated
3 whoever thinks running long distances is harder than short ones run hard is maybe not right. they're both hard but for totally different reasons. i get more anxious before a 5 x 4min solo track session these days than i do lining up for a 50 miler
4 training plans look easier on the paper than they actually are
5 my current plan has meant i've had to let go of the reins and my security blanket and trust in what has been laid out in front of me. it might be working. but its certainly shaking things up and that feels good
6 its the forth week of the plan and the prescribed eating regimen of no rice, bread, pasta etc. overall ive done ok apart from one reckless night and on a few occasions i've been seen sneaking in a few potatoes, beers and crisps when nobody's looking. mums the word ;-)
7 i am now officially asthmatic. i did wonder what might be holding me back from being a front of pack runner..well now i know why ;-)
8 next up is gravy pud fell race..because northern boys love gravy
9 and probably like you we're starting to get into the xmas spirit in the UC household..ding dong
